跟Susan一起学美语 第11期:中国经典智慧之庄周梦蝶

 　　庄周梦见蝴蝶

　　The Dream of the Butterfly

　　1、有一天黄昏，庄周梦见自己变成了蝴蝶。

　　One day at about sunset, Zhuangzi dozed¹ off and dreamed that he turned into a butterfly.

　　2、他拍拍翅膀，果然像是一只蝴蝶，快乐极了。这时候，他完全忘记自己是庄周。

　　He flapped his wings, and, sure enough, he was a butterfly, what a joyful² feeling. As he fluttered about, he completely forgot that he was Zhuangzi.

　　3、过了一会儿，他在梦中大悟，原来那得意的蝴蝶就是庄周。

　　Soon, though, he realized that that proud butterfly was in fact Zhuangzi.

　　那么，究竟是庄周做梦变成蝴蝶？还是蝴蝶做梦变成庄周？

　　Then, was it Zhuangzi who dreamed that he was a butterfly, or was it a butterfly who dreamed that it was Zhuangzi?

　　4、庄周可以是蝴蝶，蝴蝶也可以是庄周。
